Has anyone else wondered how the categories are assigned: e.g. senior, fanatic, ambassador, etc?

I have no complaints about it and am just curious?

I looked around a bit and didn't see any info about it.
 
Number of posts, category assigned automatically.
Similar system is on other forums, as well.

I have wondered about it as well. I deduced that it seemed to correlate with the number of "messages" a person has.

It would be interesting to see a list of the category/ranks and the number of messages associated with being in that category.

Sometimes I don't get the progression like you are a Veteran, then an Enthusiast. I think. That seems backward to me.

In the end, it doesn't really matter. There are people on here that have a massive amount of posts that have the worst advice and I would never want to share a camp with, and there are people on here with a lot of valuable knowledge and seem like a lot of fun with relatively low posts.

But it would be interesting to see it written out just to know.

I believe it is a combination of posts with favorable responses you can easily see recorded for each member. For example just because a member posts a lot does not mean that member moves up in classification. The responses that member gets to their posts matters a lot.
 
If it’s the combination of posts and responses, I bet it’s an interesting algorithm…though I don't even understand basic algebra so having that information wouldn't be much use for me.

Does anyone know the complete order of rankings?
 
There’s an old post somewhere, but it’s like:

New Member 0-50 posts
Member 50-75 posts
Senior Member 75-100 posts
Veteran 100 posts
Enthusiast 250 posts
Fanatic 500 posts
Elite 1000 posts
Legend 2000 posts
Ambassador 5000 posts.

I think reactions factor in, but I don’t remember how.

@BRICKBURN knows
 
If you post interesting factual stuff about guns and hunts you advance to the next level. If you post nonsense on the politics thread you go back down.
I wish.

Boy did you hit the nail on the head there.

Politics thread is the worst on the forum, and it has this "join the dark side, my son" appeal. Plus many other crap. I must admit, I get dragged there by gravity on occasion and in my weak moments.

Like the Borg alien syndrome from Star Track.

Some interesting threads hunting related have been deleted, yet this one survives. I dont know why. We are here for hunting passion. Not for political debate.

@BRICKBURN
For your attention. ;)

We are very excited to come to Salzburg for the first time.
Should you at all have any interest in hunting with me and want to discuss different options please do not hesitate to contact me and we can set something up.

A two minute video I made of our recent Safari. I think it turned out well

Just received your book. It will be a Christmas present from my wife. Looking forward to read it.
